Changes in a woman's menstrual cycle, occurrence of ovarian cysts, and other problems can occur due to hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility, and it affects all ethnic groups. Insulin resistance is also linked to polycystic ovarian syndrome. Many women who have PCOS have also a resistance to insulin. Insulin's job in the human system is to breakdown glucose in the blood. If your body is not metabolizing insulin properly you are considered to be insulin resistant. That is why more insulin is needed in order to breakdown glucose. If glucose is accumulating to the blood, it may lead to diabetes. Women with a family background of diseases such as diabetes and thyroid disease are known to carry the gene on to the children. The disease can cause acne on the skin to worsen on men and women, and can cause dark markings around a woman's neck, breast, armpits and groin. Men can have the same gene that causes PCOS in women. However, the symptoms are different causing heart problems, balding, and thyroid issues, just to mention a few. But, in most cases, the gene doesn't cause any symptoms for a man. Because PCOS is hereditary as well, it is important to pay close attention to a girl whose mother has diagnosed with PCOS. That is why, if any signs of the condition occur, she should be tested as soon as possible. Studies have shown that if a female sibling has been diagnosed with PCOS there is over fifty percent chance that her mother has the disease also. Luckily, there are many ways to deal with PCOS and insulin resistance. It is common that some medication is prescribed to regulate menstruation. There are also medicines that help the body returning to lower blood-sugar levels by improving the body's insulin resistance. Weight loss is highly effective natural home remedy for PCOS and diabetes. It has been proven that a low 5% loss in body weight can immediately help to improve hormonal imbalances and infertility. When needed to combat infertility, medicines such as Glucophage can be prescribed to assist in normal ovulation. In summary, PCOS and diabetes can be treated with medication. However, by following healthy lifestyle can also be extremely helpful in keeping your symptoms in check. So, avoid stress, get enough sleep, exercise, eat healthy, and have fun so that you won't have to struggle with diabetes and PCOS.
